Biography

* The first original model for Eidos Interactive's Lara Croft (Tomb Raider).

Rhona Mitra is the daughter of Nora and Antony Mitra. She has an older and younger brother. Her father is of Indian and English descent while her mother is Irish. In 1984, when Mitra was eight, her parents divorced and she was sent to Roedean, an all-girls' school in Brighton, East Sussex, and was expelled. Upon attending another boarding school she was again expelled. According to Rhona:

"I was kicked out for taking a sixth-former's car and driving it down to the local boys' school. I was only 14. I left stuffing under my bedsheets but one of my friends told on me and the headmistress tracked me down. They put me in this room with bars on the windows to punish me. I was stuck in there for a whole week with just a rosary for comfort, having my dinner brought in on trays. The only time I got out was to say confession to the school priest ."

Aww you naughty girl Rhona, seems like you turned out quite okay.
